Do you want a cell phone as smooth as your hot new Ducati motorcycle? Well Sony Ericsson thinks so and has just announced the Sony Ericsson Z770 Ducati cell phone which brings the passion and style of bikers to palm of your hand. The good news here is that you will not be spending anywhere near the cost of a Ducati Motorcycle in order to lay your hands on a Z770 from Sony Ericsson. The bad news is that the Z770 only supports tri-band (900/1800/1900MHz) GSM so anyone looking to pick this device up in the US will be out of luck. With a red and black paint job, the Sony Ericsson Z770 cell phone sports Ducati-branding, but to sweeten the deal the phone comes with the HBH DS-220 based Ducati Bluetooth headset to match. A beautiful pairing of a motorcycle and a cell phone in a nice affordable package. The Sony Ericsson Z770 Ducati Edition will be on sale through TIM in June this year.
